This. D-weapons are supposed to represent things like titan weapons or the main gun on a titan-killer superheavy tank. No "normal" unit should have a D-weapon, period. But the few units that do should absolutely annihilate anything they hit. If a Shadowsword targets your Land Raider your Land Raider is dead. No "normal" scale armor is going to protect you from a massive laser designed to cut a titan in half with a single shot.
Exactly, no non-
SH tank or GMC creature should have a hope in hells chance of surviving a 'D' hit. Even non-shielded
SH/GMC's should be easy to kill/cripple with a 'D' weapon. However a land Raider, Carnifex, Wraith[name], Leman Russ, Predator or hell, a Rhino(yes, I have seen a Rhino tank four Volcano Cannon hits before) should be so much smoking metal and slagged metal.
